JavaHelp is not included in Apache NetBeans GitHub because it is GPL licensed, which is against Apache policy, and therefore is also not part of Apache NetBeans, it never has been and never will be unless it is licensed, which seems unlikely to happen. It is something you'll need to add yourself somehow -- someone who figures out how should share that with this mailing list.
